What is @types/pug?
@types/pug provides TypeScript type definitions for the Pug template engine, allowing developers to use Pug with TypeScript more effectively by providing type safety and autocompletion features.
What are @types/pug's main functionalities?
Compile Pug templates to HTML
This feature allows you to compile Pug templates into HTML strings. The code sample demonstrates compiling a simple Pug template with a variable and rendering it to HTML.
const pug = require('pug');
const compiledFunction = pug.compile('p Hello, #{name}!');
const html = compiledFunction({ name: 'World' });
console.log(html); // Output: <p>Hello, World!</p>
Render Pug templates with data
This feature allows you to render Pug templates directly with data. The code sample shows how to render a Pug template with a variable passed in as data.
const pug = require('pug');
const html = pug.render('p Hello, #{name}!', { name: 'World' });
console.log(html); // Output: <p>Hello, World!</p>
Compile Pug templates to a function
This feature allows you to compile Pug templates from a file into a reusable function. The code sample demonstrates compiling a Pug template file and rendering it with data.
const pug = require('pug');
const compiledFunction = pug.compileFile('template.pug');
const html = compiledFunction({ name: 'World' });
console.log(html); // Output depends on the content of template.pug
